Vice President Mike Pence Makes Minnesota Sports Gaffe
The flub happened during his speech in Duluth Wednesday.
DULUTH, MN — Uff da! Vice President Mike Pence must not have been properly briefed on recent Minnesota sports successes before his speech in Duluth Wednesday.
Pence mistakenly congratulated the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldog men's hockey team on their "high school" championship.
